Apogee Alta U9000X Monochrome FF senor Camera UV and multi-spectum camera

[NA_joey]

I just received 2 of theses camera I am about to test awaiting adopters to mount a a F mount lens and able to mount to telescope too.

I have costal 105mm uv lenses a uka UV 25mm cmount lens and a keyoei and clones and also microscope objectives and so on....

they are going to be fun to play with full monochrome full frame cameras.....

The Alta U9000X uses a very large format 9-megapixel full frame sensor with anti-blooming gates, ideal for applications requiring large field of view, such as astrophotography, sky surveys, and radiology. The X version has a 16-bit digitization rate of 1.8 megapixels/second, compared to the 1 MHz for the U9000.

• 3056 x 3056 array, 12 x12 micron pixels

• 5 MHz 12-bit and 1.8 MHz 16-bit digitization

• 32Mbyte camera memory

• USB 2.0 interface: no plug in cards or external controllers

• Programmable, intelligent cooling to 40°C below ambient

• Binning up to 8 Horizontal x 3056 Vertical

• Subarray readout and fast sequencing modes

• Precision time delayed integration (TDI) and kinetics mode readout • Programmable fan speed for low / zero vibration

• Two serial port outputs for control of peripheral devices

• General purpose programmable I/O port

• External triggering and strobe controls

• ActiveX drivers included with every system

• Field upgradeable firmware

• Fused silica windows

• Runs from single 12V supply with input voltage monitor

• Compact enclosure

• Programmable status indicators

Probably better just to give the link. That copy and paste made it very hard to read.

 

Anyway the camera looks nifty
